Cloud-Based Software for Managing Flight Training, Resource Maintenance, and Safety

The posted schedule shows all activities with instructor, student, aircraft type, and current unit of curriculum to be performed. The actual tail# of the aircraft can be assigned when the student has checked in.

The Operations Dispatch area gives audible alerts to the user when an aircraft has not Ramped In by the scheduled due back time.

The instructor Authorizes the activity with his or her PIN before the activity can be performed. In addition, the student checks in, or is marked No-Show and the activity can be No-Show cancelled. 

The log book is automatically filled in with information from each flight performed in ETA. Both instructor and student can download their logbook at anytime.

Capability exists to update an expired currency or add a qualification right at dispatch. This allows for correcting missing legitimate information in ETA.

Each flight can have an unlimited number of passengers. Simply add their names to the flight.

Since ETA lives in the cloud, you can ramp out in one city, ramp in at another, remain over night, and ramp out for another leg, all from your internet browser!

ETA can prevent a person from flying if he or she has not read all or a specific FIF document. For example, noise abatement, special airspace restriction or runway maintenance etc.

Flight Risk Assessment Tool

You can view the current live status of your operations in a pie chart based on the current status of each activity.

You can also view the Cancellation Analysis pie chart to gain insight to you overall cancellation reasons and completion rate.

•  Individual and customizable student training plans
• Track course minimums (dual, solo, night, cross-country) requirements in real time
• Automated audits of training records – completion of lessons, hours, training objectives

Everything that happens to a student in ETA is recorded and integrated with the course catalogue, training records, scheduling, operations and more!

ETA manages the student's Training Plan. Based on the number of activities per week the student is registered and other factors, the training plan is flowed out all the way to the final activity. This provides valuable insight into the student's progress like never before!

Every activity performed or cancelled appears on the Course Details page for a student's training records. You can see the grade for each activity along with the complete graded sheet. Grade sheet changes can be made while still maintaining the original grade sheet. Both instructor and student must enter their PIN to sign off on a grade sheet change.

ETA has several options for creating your schedule. The Direct Scheduler lets you schedule activities directly to the schedule without going through a schedule request.

Schedule requests are submitted by an instructor and reviewed by a scheduling manager. Based on several factors, the scheduler can decide to submit the activity to the schedule or deny it.

Block scheduling allows you to schedule blocks of time for certain recurring activities in a class. 

•  View your schedule through the Internet
• Schedule unavailability (vacations, dental and doctor appointments)
• Schedule miscellaneous activities (safety meetings, instructor briefings)
• Instructors can schedule activities in advance
• Based on the training course, ETA determines the next activity that should be scheduled for each student
• Verifies required instructor currencies and qualifications prior to scheduling
• Verifies required student qualifications and currencies prior to scheduling

•  Schedule personnel and resources for student training and non-student training events
• Training activities scheduled in accordance with syllabus design
• Resource availability integrated with scheduling functions
• Capability to schedule flight, simulator, oral or academic training activities
• Block Scheduling – Schedule instructors, students, and resources based on pre-defined “blocks of time”

The new schedule request puts all the important information at your finger tips. Is this student down? Is the student missing any qualifications or currencies?, What and when was this student's last activity? 

Has the student read all required flight information files? and much much more!

You can setup an aircraft type to have "Qualification" requirements. This means that a person without this qualification should not be allowed to get on the schedule for that resource type.

Similarly, ETA would help stop a person from flying if they're Medical Currency has expired.

You can define unlimited configurations for a resource. For example, you could setup an aircraft to have the following configurations: GPS, Radio Magnetic Indicator, Approved for Spins, Glass Cockpit, even meals, drinks, in-flight movie or champagne !

ETA is tightly integrated with Talon's Resource Maintenance System. The RMS is used by maintenance technicians, inventory parts managers, and administrative personnel.

You can down an aircraft from ETA - Resources or Squawk at Operations Dispatch - Ramp In
